Storage
The pump can withstand low temperatures but should never be used if the water
in or around it has frozen. Allow the ice to melt before running the pump.
Troubleshooting
Trouble
Possible cause
Remedy
Reduced power
Clogged filter.
Clean the filter and check that
the pump inlet is not clogged.
Clogged outlet hose.
Check and clean/flush outlet
hose. Check the hose for kinks.
Low battery.
Check and recharge battery.
No water is pumped
Faulty wiring.
Check that the wiring is intact
and not corroded. Check that
none of the wires is exposed
to water.
Blown fuse.
Check the fuse and replace it
if necessary. If the fuse blows
again, check that the pump
impeller can rotate freely.
Faulty float switch.
Check it by lifting the float. If the
pump starts, the switch works.
The pump does
not stop
The float switch is stuck.
Clear the float switch of any
debris, etc.
The float switch is placed
too low.
If the float switch is positioned
lower than the pump, the pump
will just pump air until the water
level has dropped and shut off
the pump. Always mount the float
switch higher than the pump inlet.
The pumps
wiring overheats
Combination of clogged
impeller and wrong fuse.
Clean the pump filter, impeller
and outlet hose. Replace the
fuse with one of the correct
rating (15 A).
